Broken wheel!

I have a set of 18" Centerlines and recently had my wheel brake apart. I had just come off the Highway at 80 mph, but luckly I was just making a low speed u-turn when it happened.

I thought I broke a ball joint, but once I got out I saw the broken wheel I about crapped myself.

Centerline has the wheel now and they are inspecting it. It is easy to tell by looking at the center section that the welds did not penatrate the wheel center very well at all. The bad thing is they don't make the wheel any more and I may have to buy a new set of wheels.

Here are some pics.
